[Cornelius:]Out thereThere's a world outside of YonkersWay out there beyond this hick town, BarnabyThere's a slick town, BarnabyOut thereFull of shine and full of sparkleClose your eyes and see it glisten, BarnabyListen, Barnaby...Put on your Sunday clothes,There's lots of world out thereGet out the brillantine and dime cigarsWe're gonna find adventure in the evening airGirls in white in a perfumed nightWhere the lights are bright as the stars!Put on your Sunday clothes, we're gonna ride through townIn one of those new horsedrawn open cars[Cornelius & Barnaby:]We'll see the shows at DelmonicosAnd we'll close the town in a whirlAnd we won't come until we've kissed a girl!

[Dolly:]Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and outStrut down the street and have your picture tookDressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn aboutThat Sunday shine is a certain signThat you feel as fine as you look!

Dolly & Ambrose:Beneath your parasol, the world is all a smileThat makes you feel brand new down to your toes

[Townspeople, All:]Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and outStrut down the street and have your picture took

[Dolly, Townspeople, All:]Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn aboutThat Sunday shine is a certain signThat you feel as fine as you look![Women:]Beneath your parasol, the world is all a smile[All:]That makes you feel brand new down to your toesGet out your feathersYour patent leathersYour beads and buckles and bowsFor there's no blue Monday in your Sunday clothes!
